Question 1

A 25-year-old sexually active male presents with urethritis and epididymitis, and is diagnosed with the most common STI reported in his age group. What is this infection?&#10;A) Gonorrhea&#10;B) Syphilis&#10;C) Chlamydia&#10;D) Herpes

Accepted Answer

Gonorrhea

Question 2

An example of a parasitic sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is transmitted through close skin-to-skin contact is:&#10;A) Chlamydia.&#10;B) syphilis.&#10;C) scabies.&#10;D) Gardnerella.

Accepted Answer

Scabies is a parasitic STI that is transmitted through close skin-to-skin contact, often during sexual activity. The mite that causes scabies burrows into the skin and lays eggs, resulting in intense itching and a rash. While Chlamydia, syphilis, and Gardnerella are all STIs, they are not parasitic and are typically transmitted through sexual contact with infected bodily fluids or mucous membranes.

Question 3

_____ is an inflammation of the glans penis.&#10;A) Phimosis&#10;B) Balanitis&#10;C) Priapism&#10;D) Hydrocele

Accepted Answer

Balanitis is the inflammation of the glans penis, typically caused by poor hygiene or a bacterial or fungal infection. Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin cannot be retracted fully from the glans penis, priapism is a prolonged and painful erection that is unrelated to sexual arousal. Hydrocele is a buildup of fluid in the membrane surrounding the testicle.

Question 4

A patient's medication has a side effect of gynecomastia. What does the nurse know this to mean?&#10;A) There is a lack of breast development in women.&#10;B) There is an overdevelopment of breast tissue in males.&#10;C) It is a type of breast cancer.&#10;D) It is a process of inflammation of the mammary glands.

Accepted Answer

Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement or overdevelopment of breast tissue in males, often due to hormonal imbalances or side effects of certain medications.

Question 5

A 38-year-old presents reporting difficulty having sexual intercourse because his penis curves during erection. What term describes this condition?&#10;A) Phimosis&#10;B) Cryptorchidism&#10;C) Paraphimosis&#10;D) Peyronie disease

Accepted Answer

Peyronie disease is a connective tissue disorder that causes a curvature of the penis during erection, leading to difficulty with sexual intercourse. Phimosis is a tight foreskin that cannot be retracted. Cryptorchidism is the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum. Paraphimosis is a medical emergency that occurs when the foreskin becomes trapped behind the head of the penis and cannot be returned to its normal position.

Question 6

Symptoms of acute bacterial prostatitis are similar to symptoms of:&#10;A) prostate cancer.&#10;B) benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).&#10;C) urinary tract infection (UTI).&#10;D) epididymitis.

Accepted Answer

The symptoms of acute bacterial prostatitis are similar to those of a urinary tract infection (UTI), including painful urination, frequent urination, and lower abdominal pain. Prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) typically present with different symptoms, such as difficulty urinating or blood in the urine. Epididymitis involves pain and inflammation in the testicles, which is not a symptom of acute bacterial prostatitis.

Question 7

A 30-year-old presents with penile tenderness and discharge while the physical examination reveals that his foreskin cannot be retracted back over the glans penis. This assessment data is consistent with what condition?

A) Paraphimosis
B) Phimosis
C) Peyronie disease
D) Priapism

Accepted Answer

The inability to retract the foreskin over the glans penis is a characteristic finding with phimosis, which can cause inflammation, tenderness, and discharge. Paraphimosis involves the foreskin being stuck in a retracted position, Peyronie disease involves the development of fibrous plaques in the erectile tissue of the penis, and priapism involves a prolonged and painful erection that is not associated with sexual stimulation.

Question 8

A 21-year-old presents with inflammation of the testes and is diagnosed with orchitis. What is the most likely cause of his symptoms?&#10;A) Herpes virus&#10;B) Escherichia coli&#10;C) Mumps&#10;D) Cytomegalovirus

Accepted Answer

Orchitis is most commonly caused by the mumps virus, with up to 30% of males who contract mumps developing orchitis. Herpes simplex virus, Escherichia coli and cytomegalovirus can also cause orchitis but are much less common causes.

Question 9

Which of the following statements are true regarding prostate cancer? (Select all that apply.)&#10;A) It is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths in males.&#10;B) It usually occurs before age 50.&#10;C) It is the leading type of nonskin cancer in men in Canada.&#10;D) It is more common in White men in the United States.&#10;E) Prostate cancer death rates have been declining in Canada.

Accepted Answer

Prostate cancer is the leading type of nonskin cancer in men in Canada, and death rates have been declining due to better detection and treatment.

Question 10

The risk of testicular cancer is greater for which group? (Select all that apply.)&#10;A) Persons with a history of cryptorchidism&#10;B) Persons with a history of phimosis&#10;C) Persons who are of white ethnicity&#10;D) Persons who are of black descent&#10;E) Persons between 15 and 35 years of age.

Accepted Answer

Cryptorchidism (undescended testicle) increases the risk of testicular cancer. White ethnicity is associated with a higher incidence of testicular cancer compared to other ethnicities. Testicular cancer is most common in young and middle-aged men, particularly those between 15 and 35 years of age.

Question 11

What is a common complaint from men with mild to moderate benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH)?&#10;A) Urgency, or the need to urinate often&#10;B) Infertility&#10;C) Sexual dysfunction&#10;D) Prostatodynia
